    As expected newly minted IBF lightweight champion Richard Commey will be unavailable to face WBO/WBA lightweight champion and pound for pound king Vasiliy Lomahenko in April as originally hoped. Commey suffered an injury to the knuckle on his right middle finger during his sensational showing against Isa Chaniev that was determined to be a floating tendon. Commey had a MRI that revealed, "he's going to be out for six weeks," said promoter Lou DiBella. "He's going to see a another specialist next week, so I'm going to be huddling up with Top Rank and we should know if we're going to be able to reschedule it by next Tuesay."

    Fair. Facing Loma is a hard enough ask with two good hands.

    I guess we're getting Loma-Crolla...?

    I'm not sure about that. If, let's say, a month is all that needed, they will just postpone this fight.
